♪♫ Which one of these is not like the other? ♪♫

OOPS! Good thing I have a trusty seam ripper. LOL

Grama Lehr 06-17-2010 12:16 PM

Lovely colors!!

erstan947 06-17-2010 12:17 PM

I would not have seen the error until I was all done. Good catch.

nwm50 06-17-2010 12:18 PM

at least you have a good sense of humor! Very pretty blues you have going!

I probably would have had it hanging for three years before noticing! LOL! Been there done that!

It's good that you can laugh at yourself and let us laugh right along with you! :lol:

patricej 06-17-2010 12:23 PM

now how did you manage to take a picture of my blocks?

:lol:

brushandthimble 06-17-2010 12:24 PM

I think we have all done that..

feline fanatic 06-17-2010 12:34 PM

Ahh, a good visual for why one shouldn't "drink and piece" . :lol: :lol:

:lol: :lol: But maybe we should "drink in peace"???

We ALL have days like that -- love the colors :D

mrs. fitz 06-17-2010 12:39 PM

Looks like one of them got caught in the wind LOL.

We've all been there haven't we. I probably wouldn't have noticed it until it was all finished. Pretty blues.

eparys 06-17-2010 12:41 PM

Great Catch! I too would have caught it AFTER they were tog!! lol

Sheila Elaine 06-17-2010 12:45 PM

Been there, done that as they say. You're a newbie, so give yourself credit for trying not to peak at the pattern. Rippit & go again.

belmer 06-17-2010 12:46 PM

LOL.... Can't tell you how many times I have been there!
Love your sence of humor

Jim's Gem 06-17-2010 12:46 PM

Good thing you caught it before attaching to other blocks!!!

Jeanniejo 06-17-2010 12:49 PM

This just means you are a "real" quilter now :lol:

LOL Y'all are funny. Man, I really could use a drink too. 3 more months... :D

While I've got y'all's attention....anyone want to give me some thoughts on how to piece these all together?

And should I change out that one dark blue with the big white print? It seems a little out of place now that they're all together.

Option 1

Option 2

insecurity 06-17-2010 12:59 PM

It would have made your quilt unique. Bet no one else has 1 like it!

sewjoyce 06-17-2010 01:01 PM

I like #2 better....

sharon b 06-17-2010 01:03 PM

You are doing GREAT with them :thumbup: I like the top layout with the change you mentioned :mrgreen:

brushandthimble 06-17-2010 01:07 PM

put them in opposite corners, leave the open in the bottom left corner and put the other in the top right.

isnthatodd 06-17-2010 01:08 PM

Option 1 without the blue print. Love the color combination on the rest. ;)

brushandthimble 06-17-2010 01:11 PM

I like option number 2, very different

MamaBear61 06-17-2010 01:14 PM

Oh well, you "new" block looks good too, maybe for the next project (lol)

craftybear 06-17-2010 01:27 PM

Glad you caught it

now you have the rip rip fever!!!!

craftybear 06-17-2010 01:28 PM

you could name it " Too Much to Drink"

Butterflyblue 06-17-2010 01:35 PM

I made that exact same oops once!

quiltsRfun 06-17-2010 02:22 PM

Boy, a little mistake can make a big difference. LOL! Shouldn't be too hard to fix.

Love your colors.

Pam 06-17-2010 02:33 PM

Your mistake could go into blacksmith quilt. IT looks like an anvil to me!

mom-6 06-17-2010 02:36 PM

I like the print as a focal point, so I would do option #2 and have the two print blocks in the center...ie switch out corner print block and aqua block diagonal to it.

I also think brushandthimble's idea of putting the print blocks in the opposite corners and having the diagonal color pattern would look good.

wvdek 06-17-2010 03:16 PM

Oops! I like #2 better I think altho I think maybe one more of the print.

CAROLJ 06-17-2010 05:40 PM

Been there done that!

kristananne 06-17-2010 06:04 PM

Thanks everyone.

I went and got a FQ of a dark blue without a big white print on it. I'll remake those two blocks and then I think I'm going to go with option 1. That's how I sketched it up to begin with and I'm thinking once I swap out the blocks, I should like it more. Will post pics of it all put together tomorrow with the pieced border!

stitchinwitch 06-17-2010 06:15 PM

Oh! That song is familiar! ...."one of these things is not like the other, one of these things just doesn't belong - can you tell which thing is not like the other before I end up singing this song?
Was that on Sesame Street?? About 40 years ago???? hahaha

sharon b 06-17-2010 06:17 PM

Glad you figured it out :thumbup: What time does the store open in the morning :wink: LOL

dsj 06-17-2010 06:34 PM

The amish would leave it in there, they always add a little mistake.

annette1952 06-17-2010 09:20 PM

LOL Been there done that also. More than once!!

amma 06-17-2010 10:45 PM

LOL been there many, many times!!! Pretty blocks :D:D:D

quiltinggirl 06-17-2010 10:57 PM

I've done this countless of times too! LOL Your color of blue with the white is very pretty!! :)

shopaholic97 06-18-2010 03:53 AM
